Welcome to BEE Ratings-SA

We are pleased to announce that, since the launching of our website on 23 March 2007, we have grown not only in business but also in public relationships.
Our belief in BEE awareness, training and development is our driving force to empower the nation. We strive to support both public and private sectors in speeding up their economic growth process.
We at BEE Ratings-SA, understand the importance of impartiality in the interest of  business.

B-BBEE isn’t a one-year race, but rather a long-term Business Strategy. Small changes now could build up into an impressive profile 5 years down the line. The challenge is to improve on your B-BBEE activities and score each year.

If your annual turnover is less than R 10 million you are defined as an Exempt Micro Enterprise (EME). White owned EME companies are a level 4, which amounts to a 100% BEE Procurement Recognition. 51% Black owned EME companies are a level 2, which amounts to a 125% BEE Procurement Recognition. 100% Black owned EME companies are a level 1, which amounts to a  135% BEE Procurement Recognition. (Black is defined as any African , Indian, Coloured & Chinese , South- African Citizen)

If your annual turnover is between R 10 million and R 50 million you are defined as a Qualifying Small Enterprise(QSE). If your annual turnover exceeds R 50 million you are defined as a Generic Enterprise(GE).

About Us

Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment

For B-BBEE to work consistently, visible and clearer direction is needed. BEE initiatives to date have been characterised by:

  • Lack of understanding leading to inconsistent application and appreciation of B-BBEE principles.
  • Lack of clarity resulting in delays in the implementation of B- BBEE initiatives.
  • Disparity in Charter definitions and targets between various sectors of the economy.
  • Lack of implementation guidelines.
  • Lack of underlying economic substance to many BEE transactions.
  • Focus on narrow based BEE leading to a narrow base of beneficiaries.
